Improving the Impact of Research: Knowledge Exchange Scheme

THE KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE CALL IS CLOSED

This scheme is currently under review

HSC R&D Division recognises that research findings should be translated into health or social care benefits as quickly and efficiently as possible. 

In response, HSC R&D Division has offered funding under a Knowledge Exchange Scheme with the aim that this will improve the impact and reach of research. The funding has been used to enable effective two-way exchange among researchers who have generated new knowledge, and research users who require an evidence base.

It is intended that the knowledge exchange will deliver practice, policy, social and/or economic benefit in an area relevant to health or social care. It is expected that applications will come from multi-disciplinary and multi-sectoral teams who can demonstrate credible arrangements for collaboration.
